A field survey, watching brief and excavation by J Perry of SutAS was undertaken in advance of sand extraction and close to a prehistoric and Roman site previously excavated by D Williams. The field survey and watching brief revealed quantities of Neolithic and Bronze Age struck flint, burnt flint and some Mesolithic struck flint. A small quantity of Bronze Age, Roman and medieval pottery was also recovered. These finds were spread over the whole field though there was a concentration of finds, particularly Bronze Age, at the highest point. A geophysical survey also showed the presence of a palaeochannel, running close to the Bronze Age concentration. The date of the palaeochannel is probably late glacial or early post-glacial, though there was Bronze Age pottery in its upper fill. At the northern end of the field was a small rectilinear enclosure ditch, and Bronze Age pottery, struck and burnt flint, and a Roman pot were recovered from the ditch. On either side of the enclosure ditch were a number of pits and small linear features, many containing Bronze Age pottery, struck and burnt flint.
